Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
- 3/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus extra flaky sea salt for garnish
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate. If desired, you can lightly crimp the edges. Set aside.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, granulated sugar, large eggs, melted unsalted butter, heavy cream, vanilla powder, and fine sea salt until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Step 3: Carefully pour the honey mixture into the prepared pie crust. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden, but the center still has a slight wobble.
- Step 4: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2-3 hours. For best results, chill in the refrigerator for another 2 hours or until fully set.
- Step 5: Just before serving, sprinkle the top of the pie with flaky sea salt for that perfect sweet and salty finish. Slice and enjoy.
Notes
- Keep your Salted Honey Pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days; the flavors meld beautifully over time.
- For a slightly warmed slice, gently heat in a low oven for a few minutes, or simply let it come to room temperature after refrigeration to enjoy its full, rich texture.
- Elevate each slice by adding a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream to complement its rich sweetness.
- Resist the urge to slice early! Allowing your pie to cool *completely* and then chill in the refrigerator ensures a perfect set and enhances the creamy, rich texture of the filling.
